The social re-orientation of adolescence: a neuroscience perspective on the process and its relation to psychopathology (2005, background): “Several regions in the affective node have been found to display increased activity when adult subjects viewed emotionally provocative social stimuli such as their own children or romantic partners (Bartels & Zeki, 2001; Leibenluft et al. 2004; Nitschke et al. 2004) individuals perceived as attracti”
Isn't It Cute: An Evolutionary Perspective of Baby-Schema Effects in Visual Product Designs (2011, neutral): “…that brain areas that are associated with the anticipation of reward (Glocker et al., 2009) or those that are involved in decoding a stimulus’ affective value (Nitschke et al., 2004; Zebrowitz, Luevano, Bronstad, & Aharon, 2007) show an increased activation in the presence of cute infant faces.”
Social cognitive neuroscience: a review of core processes. (2007, background): “These regions have all been associated with controlled processes and are consistent with the notion that the expression of explicit attitudes depends on controlled processing.”
Emotion and the Prefrontal Cortex: An Integrative Review (2017, background): “Other work has shown that the lateral OFC is also sensitive to social goals (Azzi et al., 2012; Campbell-Meiklejohn et al., 2012; Nitschke et al., 2004; Singer et al., 2004; Watson & Platt, 2012).”
The MAD Model of Moral Contagion: The Role of Motivation, Attention, and Design in the Spread of Moralized Content Online (2019, background): “When people receive positive social feedback, areas of the brain associated with reward such as the striatum are highly active and overlap with brain areas associated with nonsocial reward (Aharon et al., 2004; Izuma, Saito, & Sadato, 2008; Meshi, Morawetz, & Heekeren, 2013; Nitschke et al., 2004; S”
A neurobehavioral model of affiliative bonding: implications for conceptualizing a human trait of affiliation. (2005, background): “Recently, Moles et al. (2004) published results in Science that support our proposal; that is, mice lacking the -opiod receptor gene showed a severe deficit in attachment behavior. This study also is concordant with Zubieta et al.’s (2003) findings of regulation of human affective responses by limbi”

What does the prefrontal cortex "do" in affect: perspectives on frontal EEG asymmetry research. (2004, methodology): “Based largely upon the work of Rolls in non-human primates and more recently in humans (Rolls, 1999; Rolls et al., 2003; see also work from our lab by Nitschke et al., 2004 ), the orbital sector of PFC can be thought of as cortex that computes affective value.”
The neurobiology of positive emotions. (2006, background): “PA states induced by music (Blood and Zatorre, 2001) as well as mothers viewing pictures of their newborn babies (Nitschke et al., 2004) have also been shown to increase orbital frontal activity.”
